Green For All Praises Secretary Clinton's Environmental Justice Platform, Calls for Further Action to Make Polluters Pay

This afternoon, Secretary Hillary Clinton released her plan on environmental and climate justice.

In response, Green For All Director Vien Truong released the following statement:

"Secretary Clinton's environmental and climate justice plan is an important step forward for low-income communities and communities of color impacted by pollution, and for our national discussion on environmental racism. We applaud this effort and encourage further ideas that would make polluters pay for the reinvestment and rebuilding of communities who have suffered the worst of pollution and environmental racism.

"From Flint to the Gulf Coast and from Governor Snyder to Shell Oil, we need to make sure that polluters pay, not families."
